LG,

In my post concerning the market out to the end of December I left out a few specifics. In regard to the SMI set up to give a bit of a nasty signal, the probability that a 300 pt. down day for tomorrow could occur is rather high.

As far as your observation that the 9000 level is a psychological pivot, I believe that this activity derives from the fear/greed associated with 10,000. Each time the Dow has broken through a thousand barrier, the next thousand barrier was implicitly implied. In that conquering the 9000 level would imply a move over 10,000, it's quite understandable that there would be some impressive volatility associated with 9K.
